Now is the time when I get a little depressed as I try to erase all expectations and most of my hopes. Realize that I’m not in control. And wish whatever thing is defined as “luck” to the one man who’ll be on that stage who deserves to lead this nation. Convicted Felon Donald Trump will hopefully self immolate, but hope is not a strategy. Biden should have a virtual canister of petroleum with him and splash it generously.
Just want to express a note of gratitude to TPM staff and some of you folks who’ll be jumping in front of the bullet and live-blogging the debate so the rest of us don’t have to watch for ourselves.
One thing that will likely come up is what Lawrence O’Donnell noted a month ago. Trump will attack Biden as being responsible for his ‘persecutions’ and Biden is limited in his response. He can’t publicly comment on the obvious guilt w/o unduly influencing a potential jury….
Nixon commented on Charles Manson and had to clean it up.
Something to watch.
